DIY Sole Protectors
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Do it yourself sole protectors for your sneakers.
I was surprised how decent these worked. About 10-15 wears. I’ll do some more tests in the future too. Trying to find the best!
What should I do next? Shoe Cleaner comparisons??
I use this film for the sole protector: amzn.to/3KStUEC
And this for the grip tape: amzn.to/3ZhI2LJ
Always open to feedback! Thanks for watching!
